Systems and methods for data loss prevention

摘要

A computer-implemented method for data loss prevention may include 1) identifying a file hierarchy within a file system (where, e.g., the file hierarchy includes a plurality of files and folders), 2) identifying a defined file hierarchy structure that is associated with a data loss prevention policy (where, e.g., the defined file hierarchy structure identifies the relative locations of files and folders), 3) determining that the file hierarchy is implicated in the data loss prevention policy by determining that the defined file hierarchy structure corresponds to the file hierarchy, and 4) applying the data loss prevention policy to at least a portion of the file hierarchy based on determining that the file hierarchy is implicated in the data loss prevention policy. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

1. A computer-implemented method for data loss prevention, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
identifying a file tree within a file system, the file tree comprising a plurality of files and folders; identifying a defined file tree structure that is associated with a data loss prevention policy, the defined file tree structure identifying relative locations of files and folders within the defined file tree structure, wherein the defined file tree structure comprises at least one of:
file type information;file name information;file size information;file hash information; determining that the file tree is implicated in the data loss prevention policy by determining that the defined file tree structure corresponds to the file tree; applying the data loss prevention policy to at least a portion of the file tree, based on determining that the file tree is implicated in the data loss prevention policy, to protect data stored within the file tree.
